World of FootballAll non Palace football talk - includes latest scores on Internationals and matches that affect palace.

I’m hoping (straw grasping) that this is their reaction to the ripping they took against Brighton on Friday, and they will revert to type for Saturday. On the contrary, we are due our “bounce” from last night, so all good.

Coupled with it being close to a Spammers first team, and with only two days’ rest, there really are no excuses come 4.50pm on Saturday!

Not the worst thing in the world for us that the Hammers won tonight. I was hating the prospect of facing a beleagured team and manager with all the pre match talk about how bad things are going for them and it could be the manager's last game out of the way. You just know we would be the victims of their 'reaction'. At least now they have got that out of the way.

Bilic said "Wins give you energy and they give you freshness. Now tomorrow at training there will be no long faces, nobody’s going to feel tired because of the fact of this result, especially in such a good game".

Am I paranoid, or does it seem like everything is a massive conspiracy against us this season? Let's hope they're tired and complacent and we blow them away!

The rules changed that you could bring on one additional substitute in extra time, not like The Sun to make up a story without any facts.

I called it when they got Burton in their first game - a draw only on twitter at 4am in Bangkok or somewhere!
In this case it clearly took a few goes until they got the draw they wanted. hence the delay

"Well, as I said before, we are only 6 points behind 4th from bottom with the prize of an additional £65 million (minimum) if we stay up. So, we'd be bonkers if that wasn't the top priority. Nobody's giving up on staying in this league." CPFC2010, 5-11-2013
